Simple program that collects the Condor UDP output and converts it to output to a serial port so the Condor Data can be processed externally.

Basis for a homesim

• Condor --> Arduino
• Arduino --> Condor is not possible yet
• Map keys, joysticks etc for inputs in a HID compatible device Generic UDP output

Condor can stream data to external applications using UDP protocol. UDP.ini

UDP output is enabled by setting »Enabled=1« parameter in the »UDP.ini« file found in Condor installation directory:

[General] Enabled=1

[Connection] Host=127.0.0.1 Port=55278

[Misc] SendIntervalMs=1 ExtendedData=0 ExtendedData1=0 LogToFile=0

In the same file host address and port are also set. Send rate is controlled by SendIntervalMs parameter which specifies the time interval between two consecutive data packets. Some additional parameters are available if ExtendedData or ExtendedData1 are enabled. The output can also be logged to file for debug purposes by setting the »LogToFile=1« parameter. UDP Packet data

The data packet is an ASCII stream of ‘parameter=value’ pairs with the following parameters
